Linda Mironti (Singer/Performer, Chef, Director of Il Chiostro) Linda’s first voice teacher was her Grandmother Angelina, who taught her Italian folk songs at the same time showing her how to make homemade gnocchi and pasta. In the 3rd grade Linda made her solo debut in Mrs. Springer’s music class concert and from then on she followed her passion for music through college and to New York City. In the 80’s she was called to Italy where she starred in TV shows, recordings and concert tours from Milan to Sicily. Ironically, for the 7 years she performed in Italy she sang mostly blues, jazz, rhythm and blues, and original pop material; she wrote lyrics for herself and for many other artists. It wasn’t until her return to New York City in the mid 90’s that she was able to include her favorite Italian songs in her performances. Following the recipe from her grandmother’s kitchen, food was love, and making good food was one of her passions. She attended The Art Institute of New York and cooking became another form of artistic expression for her. In 1995 Linda, and her business partner, Michael Mele, started Il Chiostro. Here she was able to combine both of her passions, and for the last 30 years has been organizing creative workshops in the arts in various places in Italy. Linda enjoys the best of both her worlds, sharing her love for Italy and singing in numerous venues across the US … she is especially excited to finally be singing in her home town on May 16th!!!!!   Tickets on sale Friday, April 3, 2026 @7am $20adv/$25dos An Evening with Linda Mironti Saturday, May 16, 2026 Doors@5pm / Show@6pm
